9. I've been getting into these Angolan compilations Buda's been putting out; they're spectacular. If anyone can tell me what this song if about, I'll be obliged - as far as I can make out, it's about trains, soap, and chickens.

10. Another thing I've been curious about is Asperger's, and the hidden horde. The Rock and Roll H.o.F. has some lyrics of David Byrne's up on the wall, next to drafts of Chuck Berry's "Schooldays' and The Replacements' "Bastards of Young." Byrne's are written on graph paper. They're a whole lot cleaner than Berry's or Paul Westerberg's.

* * * * * 2nd Best Album of All Time, June 10, 2005
Reviewer: Joseph C. Defilippi - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

Besides "Exile on Main Street," this is the 2nd best album ever made. The songwriting is amazing, and it is an unbelievable record to drink to. Just ask my friend Myles--a no-nonsense kind of guy. He's into Puerto Rican women, big jungle cats, hanging out without his shirt on, and paintings of race cars. He'll rock you. Hard.

13. Right now, the best girl groups were: The Crystals, The Cookies, The Shirelles, and Gems.

14. 'Orrible Beatles bridge. I could have written it better meself.

15. I was afraid that TVotR would be all downhill after that first EP; I was wrong - their career's been more of a sine wave. Here they are pleased to be playing in France

16. On last year's New Year's Mix, Prince Buster represented Islam. Here, Nigeria's Ofu The Black Company hold down the fort. Afro-acid rock that will rock you. Hard. Esp. today. As the Hajj approaches spritual climax.
